Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay were used to identify the prostaglandins synthesized by mouse embryo palate mesenchyme cells. Serum stimulated the release of several different metabolites of arachidonic acid including 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (the stable product of prostacyclin, prostaglandin I2), prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2 alpha. Compared to control cells, the serum-stimulated cells produce elevated levels of prostaglandin E2 (36-fold), 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (15-fold) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (7-fold). The acetylenic analogue of arachidonic acid, 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid prevented this accelerated synthesis.Entities:
